How Do I Open an Account on Cash App?

Cash App allows you to send or receive funds using your mobile phone, but how does it work? How do you open an account on Cash App? You can learn more about the app and its services by calling customer support here, and below are the steps you need to complete to open your own Cash App account.

Opening Your Cash App Account

To open your own Cash App account, do the following:

  1. Download the app on your mobile device (it is available on iPhone or Android).

  2. Tap on the app icon to open it.

  3. Enter your phone number or email address.

  4. If you entered your phone number, you will get a one-time password (OTP) sent to you via text. If you used your email address, the OTP will be sent to your email.

  5. Enter the OPT and click "Continue."

  6. Invite friends to also open Cash App accounts. You can choose to skip this step; however, if your friends do join Cash App you can get a cash reward.

  7. Enter the information on your debit card to link your bank account to your Cash App account. This is what you will use to send money, but it is also the account you will deposit any funds you receive over the app.

  8. Pick a username ($Cashtag). Your $Cashtag is what you will share with others who wish to send you funds.

  9. Key in your zip code (make sure it matches the zip code attached to your bank account).

  10. You are now ready to use Cash App and can send or receive funds.

Cash App Account Security

Cash App has measures in place to protect accounts. Some important information you need to know about your new Cash App account includes:

  1. FDIC covers all money in your Cash App account.

  2. Cash App uses fraud detection and encryption technology to help keep accounts secure.

  3. To further secure your Cash App account, each time you log in, you will receive a code (OTP) via text or email to help keep your account secure.

Opening a Cash App account allows you to send and receive funds among friends and family quickly and easily. For more information on Cash App and setting up your account, contact customer service here.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Cash App Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
